As a woman in the military for 8 years and counting. Over the years, i have come to work with a lot of experts(hackers included). Recently i discovered there is a high demand for hackers and a lot of people have lost their hard earned money to self acclaimed hackers. do not be fooled, no sane hacker will drop his contact on a forum or website. Since i am still in contact with few of the hackers , i have being able to introduce quite a number of people to genuine hackers. May i tell you i do not do it for free. yes it comes with a fee because i am certain of their professionalism and efficiency. If you reach out to me (messenger: Wickr Me, Username; Qasa or my Gmail @ Labellafigura00@gmail.com), I promise to put a smile on your face just as i have done with others. I am Tiffany Smith.

trucking companies should be ashamedby: Anonymous

I can't stand werners, there pay isn't worth the time you spend away from home. They have you sitting more than driving. The truckers are expected to live live out on the road like dogs. They pee in cups, shit in bags. Unbelievable!

Go days without a shower. While the companies sit back and rake in all the money these guys make. Thankless job!

Werner Cares? Noby: Anonymous

I worked for Werner Enterprise and left to work for one of their owner operator companies, Eagle Trucking in Az. In one weekend while working for Werner, I got a total of 18 miles from Friday through Monday. Their dispatchers do not care.

On top of that, neither Eagle nor Werner keeps their equipment maintained which ultimately led to an accident where I broke my shoulder in two places and several rotator cuff tears. This was a preventable accident because Brian Wagner at Eagle knew for 4months my truck was leaking fuel and told me he would look into getting my truck fixed later. Not 24 hours later, my accident happened. Now werner has stopped my workmans comp benefits and I'm still under the care of a doctor and unable to return to work. My cdl's aren't even worth the plastic they are written on. Werner could care less about their drivers and neither does Eagle. If you go out on workmans comp, your health benefits are cancelled and you have to pay a high cobra premium to keep health benefits. Yet when greg werner resigned as ceo in august 2015, werner enterprises will pay his cobra health benefits for 18 months. How fair is that?

Werner appreciated by: William

Werner gave me my start as a truck driver 2 years this month. I have no complaints and or problems. Of course no company is perfect. Will I stay with Werner, who knows, but for now I'm ok.

Aug 29, 2015Rating

anonamus really?by: Peter L. former driver

I've notice that there are alot of people not leaving there names. All they do is ****ch and complain. I worked for Werner for about nine months. I learned alot about trucking so I still retain some of it, so i'm still a better driver for it. (even in my car)

Alot of you are to afraid to tell the truth about why you were fired. I would go back to trucking if they asked me too. In the next few years they are going to need drivers BADDLY1111.

The numbers don't lie. By 2020 or sooner they will be a need for about 100k + in drivers. If they want to stay in bussiness they have to do three things. 1. Give more money to drivers, 2. Give the drivers more choises of home time. And 3. give them the resept they diserve.

If you show that they care, they will get a lot more out of you. I work at a small pizza shop and I get alot of OVERTIME not because of money but it,s becouse of the respect we give each other. Ber safe out there Peter L.

My Werner experienceby: im bored

Typing on a cellular so sorry in advance for typos. I needed a job after the military and the economy is pretty shitty. I "hoped" it would "change" but driveit hasn't yet. So I figure Id drive for awhile. I got paid $40 a day in training needed 270 hours behind the wheel. I had a great trainer another veteran, younger than I. I asked alot of questions and made him allow me to work some problems out on my own. Was told I could get off at 200 hours and was headed to a family dollar dedicated account. My trainer urged me to stay on, be wanted those miles, But be was headed for a week of home time and I was more interested in money in the bank. Got off at the Denver terminal, my home terminal. The terminal manager at the time was a total cocksucker. I spent a day doing CBTs. The next day I reported to the terminal an said "ok I'm ready for my truck" terminal manager said "yeah, you and ten other guys so get in line". Oooohhhkkkaay. "Well" I say "I'm supposed to be going to FanDom and they said iwould need to to out with a mentor, is there any way I can do that while I'm waiting for a truck?". Oh shit, they say we have a driver that actuly wants to work. well yeah guys that's why I'm here. Tom books me up with a rental and a truck recovery, He gets to get a hold of another driver that needs a truck to ride with me and basically do to recoveries at the same time. After an hour he says screw that guy And turns me loose. My recovery is in Odessa, tx. Convenient because that's where the famdol dc is. I stop at home on the way, to pick up stuff for the truck..I didn't tell Werner. Get to kenworth the next day ##oct13 to recover my 2012 Kenworth T660. It had an air leak though at pretrip so I couldn't move that day. I reported to the Dc the next day saturday. Dispatchers were in but basically just one to check on drivers and take care of emergencies. I'm given a famdol dedicated booklet and told to report back Monday. Monday I go to safety get a brief watch a video am told I need to do famdol CBTs. But I had already done them because the dispatcher told me. So they are like, Well lets get you rolling. I said hold up I was told I needed to go out with a mentor. well only if you want to. I want to. That evening my mentor arrives we load and I drive 6 hours to our first stop. The mentor says, your driving is good, your backing is above average, The most important thing I can teach you is how to log to conserve hours. YES!!! that's why I wanted the mentor. Anyway I did one trailer with him and was on my own. My FM was ready to send me home and I said whenever. They say weey home time but I knew that was bs and told my dispatcher that I knew and said if they needed me to stay out it's fine just let me know. For the most part I am home weekly except when I have maintainance needs or during peek season right after Xmas. As far as maintenance I do t freak out over every little problem. If i can fix it I do. If it's a violation but minor I'll wait and Get it fixed when it's convenient in order to comstay on my schedule. My pay now is 42com including on time and safety plus unload. I usually drive 2200_2600 weekly. And gross roughly 1200. When I first started 1.75 yrs ago. I was just under 800_1000 at 32cpm. I have my mentor to thank for that. I do unload off duty. And then edit each stop to reflect my unload rate of 500 peices per hour. I log 6 hours of unload per trailer basically. Even though it takes all day. The difference is I make $100 on an unload day and $300 on a drive day. So I save time for driving. I see my dispatcher twice a week. Its a first name basis always between us and all of our dedicated office personnel. Weekend and evening Omaha junior varsity people suck. Most of the time you know better than them so trust your instincts. I got a new Pete now. Awesome truck. I mean I loved my KW but this 2015 579 is nice. Another note Lon pay. Once in a while they ask you to do a ddelivery recovery when someone near you breaks down you swap trailers and do their diverges after hours. It sucks because you loose miles and pay. The first time they did it to me I didn't bitch. I just did it. And when I got back my dispatcher said tthanks I'm going to give you a $150 bonus for ccovering that. And he has continued to do that every time. Ok now the bad..and good I guess. Dollar accounts aare dangerous. There is a lot of shit to hit. They care improving training at Odessa for new drivers. I wish I had all of it when I started. I've hit a cfew things. I've been hit. My dac reads like a total cluster #uck. But Werner, more importantly my dispatcher has stood by me. Because I don't bitch and I probably have a 98 percent on time rate. Effective communication is very important. Maintenance sucks depending on the problem work with your FM to get things done timely, conveniently and effectively. Use your head too. I mean seriously if you blow a tire 1/4 mile from an exit ramp why pull over on the hwy. Safety and logs are not your friends. Logs wants to pass all dot audits and safety wants to put the blame on you. Do your best to avoid both of them. All of that said I think Werner is a place some can call home and a place others will Use to get their foot in the door. As for me...well I'm bored. I'm an adrenaline junkie. Chasing illegal aliens off my roof in south Texas isn't enough for me. I think I'll go contract in the stan.

Nearly Three Years with Wernerby: Scott

I did my time there. Got the OTR experience everyone wants to see. I'll admit I stayed longer than I should have. Got the feeling they were done with me, as far as giving me a reason to stay on. Also felt the reference would be worth less the longer I stayed. Been over a year since I quit, so I have some perspective without the bitterness that comes from dealing with this company day in, day out. I think I probably averaged 35K a year while I was with them.

Tried team driving. Not for me. Training... Yeah, right... I actually left on good terms with the company. This wasn't my first driving job, but it was my first OTR driving job. I'd have to say: It IS What it IS, which is actually their real motto. That stuff about caring is for chumps and tired jokes. If you do decide to give them a try, get a good fleet manager and a dedicated account. If yr truck is really a POS, turn it in. Take a week off, let them have it back. You can hold out for a decent piece of equipment if yr a reliable driver. Don't take any of it personally. It isn't personal. Nights and weekends staff are incompetent. Avoid dealing with them by getting yr fleet manager to assign yr loads before the weekend, and hope he has enough clout they don't toss all his pre-assigned loads in the garbage the minute he leaves the office. Learn the game. Don't screw with the log people or they will screw with you. Follow their kindergarten rules and learn how to bend them once in a while, which you will surely have to do. Occasionally you'll have to break them altogether, but don't make a habit of it, or you'll be sitting in somebody's office explaining yourself. They won't fire ya for an honest mistake, or even for not being very good at yr job. But I have seen them fire people for being assholes. Or tearing shit up and trying to hide it. Everybody tears something up at some point. Sometimes you can hide it, sometimes you can't. Learn the difference. They document everything. So you want to stay on top of yr record with the company, and make sure it's accurate. Nearly everything is ON YOU. Yr the captain of yr ship. Don't get talked into anything stupid that might cost you yr health and safety or yr CDL. Yr license is yr bread and butter, and you'd best protect it. I could go on, but why bother. Do I recommend Werner as a company? No. Don't expect their competition to be much different though.

May 09, 2015Rating

yeah right!!by: PFC Brandon ward.

Shoot I gave driving a chance when I got out of the service. Werner had a veterans program going on and it sounded good to me.

guaranteed $850 a week.I was lucky to see $400 a week after taxes.I tried dollar general lasted about a month till I got into a fight with a manager then when I went over the road I think the most miles I ran in a week were about 1600-1700 I finally said fuck it and went home now I drive local and make 17.50 an hour.

So I'm happy now.Other then that I guess their training system is pretty decent my trainer was a former Marine too so we had a lot in common.

I'm a trainer for Werner and was solo to..solo I made 750.-1,000 a week.as a trainer and I show my student's on qualcom 1700.-2,000 a week..

they also see I get bonuses frequently and I make.57 cents a mile..i read all your negative and it's sad cause the only one's that don't make it at Werner are the ones with accident's and tickets,or cant run their hours..

I've had 3 back surgerys and still unload 43,000 lbs a day.by the way im 53 yrs old and 75 percent of students I train are 21-35 yrs old..i have perfect dac and csa,plus my score card as trainer is a 90..all my student's are still with Werner and making good money..

i had my time of hating on Werner,till I realized I wasn't kikin it like I should.i work hard,drive hard,and now I'm not one of those winers..my wife has cancer and I had to leave for 3 weeks and Werner sent me 1,000 for hardship.And when I completed a year they sent me a 1500 dollar bonus..so bitch all you want about Werner,chances are,your gonna bitch about the next 50 jobs you can't stand.WINERS

Some of you non-trainer/ Non- O/O non spelling werner driver are lying about your income you make for werner. The ones that said their pay checks were under $500 are the only truthful posters here. Go ahead and believe the exaggerator$ & Recruiter$.Former driver that made 17k in 9 months on budweiser dedicated in my 1st and only year. left there and made real money you gotta get a good year in but you may $uffer.

Talk about a waste of time!!!Go ahead and believe a single word a recruiter promises and you'll understand.I sure hope, for your sake, they don't rope u in like they did me!

GARBAGEby: Anonymous

Werner an amazing starter company. I loved getting sent all the way across the state for a good 350 a week with some dick who didnt teach cause he wanted to but because it brought him a great pay check. This guy THOUGHT he was making money but by what he told me he's working to pay werner. What a joke. if I wanted to make 350 a week, I would have never quit my job to go to werner. I might as well have quit my job to work at McDonald's. I have nothing good to say about them except thanks for let

ting me use your truck and ripping me off.

I have worked doe werner for almost three years and don't plan on leaving. I make beteen $2000-2300 a week (not owner op) and love this company. I'm home every weekend also. I'm sorry if u guys had a bad experience but most of the issues are because got on an account that didn't fit u or u got a horrible dispatcher witch is easly fixed by changing dispatchers Or accounts its not werner as a company falt. Hell I have been to a few company's and have never gotten holiday cards sent to my family like this company has. Quit crying and suck it up its trucking Not a free ride..

Dickville, USAby: Anonymous

I have worked for 2 other companies. CR England (f*cktards), who kept me out for 4 months and denied all 5 of my hometime requests, Hogan, which I think is a great company.

Thanks to England though I had to leave them after a couple months to fix my marriage. Only draw they have is their fleet is made of all automatics. I knew the recruiter was full of it telling me that I would be at a minimum $1000/wk for the surge account, but I've been off the road for 7 months, and they were the only ones who called me who didn't require me to take a $1500 refresher course, and only 70 drive hours with a trainer. And the ones that said that the recruiters were a****** are not lying.

I found myself in a white out condition this weekend and when I called after hours they set the damn phone down cause I got no answer when I told them the issue but I could hear others in the background. After a few min he picked up the phone and acted like he was just answering hour I also called on another issue last night cause they didn't message me back in the Qualcomm after a half hour and he got rude with me cause I called. The hell with Werner.

I'll do my time to have that recent experience again and I'm gone. Dispatch here only care about lining their pockets with those bonuses they get for you delivering on time. Otherwise they don't care about their drivers. If your looking for a company your better off avoiding Werner like the plague. And I'm supposed to be home every 2 weeks. I've been away for a month and I'm running out of a DC that doesn't even send loads any where close to my home. DRIVERS BE WARE... YOUR WARNED.

(Sounds great) here is the catch your fleet manager is a baby and a liar you will drive out somewhere to wait 5 hours Not paid to possibly be screwed out of time to get home. They do not care about you, your personal life let alone health. If you work for this company be prepared to get fucked with no lube and deal with some of the worlds dumbest people. Get a year of experience and run.

Werner Cares is a Jokrby: Anonymous

You think all terminals are built like prison. It is because all the office employees are thieves and belong in jail for cheating drivers out of money. Everything from paid miles to the $4 they take out of cash advance which you often have to beg for. If they can cheat a driver and force you to wait for a load they will. Do not go there. You get no respect from anyone there and waist your time and money

wrongfully terminatedby: Anonymous

On dec, 10, 2014 Werner enterprises wrongfully terminated me from my job without any notice or speaking with me about something that wasn't my fault. Werner claims I damaged the fairings of truck. I told them the fairings were already damaged and I took it to the shop to get it repaired. I reported it but the shop said that is not a DOT requirement and we will not work on something that is not required by DOT.

Then they said I have a log violation which I spoke with the log department before. My student slipped on rock and injured her wrist badly. I contacted Werner. The workers comp lady told me to take her to the hospital. I followed exactly what I was told to do for that they got me a log violation.

Night before on Tuesday the 9th, someone stole my fuel cap which I wasn't aware of until the safety from Indiana terminal looked at my truck. Even though it wasn't time for me to do another pre-trip inspection. They still said it's my fault for missing fuel cap.

So, they took me out for a road test to make sure I know how to drive on an old big ken worth which I had trouble reaching the peddles. On my road test everything was fine other than I pressed the clutch and brake together at the same time too soon to come to a complete stop. Even when they were aware of I'm having hard time reaching the pedals on the kenworth, when I'm use to drive a freightliner. They said I'm going to have to fail you on this test.

They asked me to wait in the driver's lounge 15 minutes later they came told me that they going to have to let me go. I asked who made that decision. I want to speak to that person. The answer was it's made by someone at the corporate safety office who i never got a chance to speak to.

After they terminated me in Indiana. They would not provide me with a bus ticket or reimburse me for a rental car. I spend 30+150+488+tax+fuel+other charges on rental car driving back to Texas. This is how I was treated by Werner. Werner don't care!

I worked out of several DCsby: Bill Zebub

Ardmore, OK, the one in KY above Nashville (Morehead maybe? THat's the home one) Fulton, MO, then a few for Dollar Tree and Family Dollar in the same basic area from OK to KY. They pay different then DG does but it works out close to the same.

On surge you have a weekly guarentee that I never got since you have a tight set of requirements to get it. No, they won't pay you to camp out.

Anyway, I've been gone for awhile, switched over to a regional flatbed company and home usually 3 or 4 nights a week but every weekend for sure.

Now I have a new bitch about Werner. Since I quit they claim they didn't take the deposit out on the truck (400 they dinged me for...) AND they claim they never got my trippacks for my last week, so I think I'm owned around 1300 total. More then a little pissed thinking about that, and that's AFTER giving them 2 weeks notice and turning my truck in at the terminal. I also had to pay for my own way home and since I never got to go home to start with I had to rent a car to get the old lady and all our stuff back to the house. The car was a little under 200 on top of everything else but I'll write that off as experience and hopefully at least get the money that would have been for a bus ticket. Not holding my breathe though since I havn't received ANYTHING yet.

Maybe I can contact the Nebraska Attorney Generals office? No idea how to get my money but payroll made it clear they don't show the deposit that's clearly taken out on my checks and they didn't get the trippack I have the receit for...

BTW, if you leave the truck somewhere under a load they will screw you on your report like most companies. No matter what make sure you turn the truck in somewhere and don't leave it.

if they only told the truthby: Anonymous

If these trucking companies would just be upfront with the new driver, and tell the driver what they can expect honestly then if a driver came to work for that company he would have nothing to bitch about. But the recruiters lie like the pieces of s*** that they are. it's a shame that a company like Werner or any of these other companies just don't tell the truth, because if they did they would keep more drivers because there's nothing that I disrespect more than a lying piece of dog crap. I will leave any company at the drop of a hat as soon as I've discovered that I've been lied to. if more drivers operated this way these low down dirt bags that work in those offices would not do what they do. one of these days recruiters are going to get the crap beat out of them by somebody. they are messing with people's lives, people that have kids and dreams, payment and bills ; just to pad their own pocket and they're a bunch of low life piece of crap dog s*** mother f******. so please take your defense of Werner and shove it up your ass. I work there I know what it's all about. from their disrespectful pieces of s*** dispatchers on down... makes me wanna throw up. I agree with you man f*** Warner.

hey Billby: Anonymous

Which Dollar General DC did you work out of? the DC down in Alabama only pays like 10 stp 50 download the trailer and you don't hardly get any miles. it kinda sounds funny to me the way you talk I agree I did the Dollar General count I made between 9 and 1200 a week but it was out of Zanesville Ohio. Warner is still one of the lowest paying companies out there.

my suggestion is to get your time and at any of these training companies then move on. you really need two years worth of experience. I think pretty much all the train companies are the same. turn and burn the driver if they stay great if they don't great. My suggestion for any new driver is to make sure the recruiter send you an email stating what they're promising, if they won't do that leave me they are lying. again get the recruiter to send you an email stating what they are promising.....

Do any of you actually work for the blue screw?by: Bill Zebub

I did a month of 'training' at I believe $450.00 gross a week. Basicly worked as a team, my trainer (26 yo vet) got me dinner now and again and took care of my showers when we could get them since most places (Pilot, Petro, Loves) have team showers and with some of the programs you can get a shower a day without getting fuel if you get x amount of fuel a month.

The ONLY training that counts is drive time. So like me I had to do like 60 hours, started out as a 140 I think, newbies have to do 275 but most rarely do that. Hell, I only had 60 hours but managed to stretch it into almost a month since I was waiting for a certain account I'm not telling you about, and didn't get anyway (not till Spring). Werner has an absolute shitton of dedicated accounts, you have to research them, some pay pretty good, others barely at all.

So, I took Dollar General. If you're afraid of work, you won't like this. I'm actually surge where I go from DC to DC on 3 different accounts, DG, Family DOllar and Dollar Tree.

I was promised a $2500.00 bonus which after 4 months I havn't received. I did get $250.00 for graduating.

The pay scale is a little confusing since it's basicly a sliding scale. I make .35 a mile (my trainer made .34 and got all the miles and stop pay) but I think it's like .23 plus however they add it up but usually .35. Some weeks it's been almost .60. I have no real clue how they're doing this. We have saftey bonuses, I usually get 50-75 a week for ontime delivery. I also do between 3-5 trailers a week, that's 36 a trailer and 16.50 a drop. If you're not a puss and you run and don't take all day to unload you can gross over a grand. YOU CANNNOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU'RE OFF DUTY ALMOST ALL THE TIME WHEN NOT DRIVING. I try to fit one or 2 stores early and if I have time to go to the third I'll have it unloaded before I even log in. That's how to make decent money. EVERYBODY at the company knows how this works but nudge nudge wink wink.

On the longer runs again if you're not a truck stop cowboy and run, even with the slow trucks (mine btw runs 73 on my personal GPS its a rocket ship and I keep waiting for them to route it to a terminal to slow it down). You know who turns in fast Werner trucks? Slow Werner trucks. Out west here I can do a pretty easy 750 miles a day if I have the hours and a long run. They typical Werner truck should still be able to run 650 miles. Some weeks I can get over 3000 but it's normally 22-2400 since the stores eat a lot out of your 14. I always have preassigns so I can get back grab a trailer and run as far as I can make it.

Again though, if you're scared of work, stay away from the Dollar accounts.

A lot of people have absolutely no idea how to be prepared, let alone save money. Good grief Charlie Brown.

If you stay at truck stops everynight all they are is a big ass 7-11 with showers and much more expensive crap you don't need to buy. I eat for less then $40.00 a week, and much of that comes from Dollar General since I'm already at the store and know the layout so I can grab what I want, go to the truck and cook it with my little gas burner or lunchbox oven. We have ice at the DC so my cooler is always stocked and cool. It's crazy what people spend on the road. Then bitch about not making anything.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE A TRUCK DRIVER. DRESS LIKE IT. It's crazy watching idiots move 1300 pound rolltainers filled full of water wearing flip flops. Most Walmarts you can park a truck at and get some cheap steel toes to protect your feet. Don't bitch when you end up using your feet at stoppers.

I'm leaving Werner very very soon though, I'm tired of being a 5 digit truck number and 6 digit employee number. The place I'm going to pays less in theory ((%25 gross) but more in practice. I know guys there that bring home 8-900 a week in a 5 day work week running 400 radius from the terminal and the trucks are in EVERY Friday night and dont go out till after midnight on Sunday. The folks that own it are Christian and kinda weird that way. THey also like to carry out routine maintence and repairs on Saturday. You're also home 2 or 3 days a week depending on the route but I don't mind being out.

Werner, I've been home once in 4 months. I'm not complaining since I usually get some choice runs when everybody else is at the house. My 'home' DC is like 3 hours from my house but I never see it. They keep me about 700 miles further from it.

Anyway, with most of these LTL compamies it don't matter who's name is on the door or what color the truck is, they're all closer to being alike then most folks would care to admit.

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, LEARN TO BACK THE DAMNED THING UP. At times you'll be in these big pretty empty parking lots, practice your blindside and whatever else you can think of. IT amazes me sitting at truck stops sometimes watching fairly experienced drivers take 10 minutes to back in.

I did have help backing in the other night though, I have horrid night vision. Daytime is kosher not so much night. A place with lights ends that problem though.

Oh, and get some clothes. The place you left may have been 95 degrees but where you're going is -20 with the wind going hurricane force. And it's not the companies fault if you break down and all you hae is a pair of sandals some burmudas and a tank top and they're having their second blizzard of the season.

On breakdowns, just like on your car, road service takes time. Trucks use more speciallized parts then they once did and not every place in the middle of nowhere is a full stocking dealer. Just try to have some food, something to drink, and some decent clothes. Maybe some books and a lantern so you can read if you lose power.

Anyway, Werner is what it is. YOu can do better, you can do worse but until you do it for awhile one place is about like another.

Stay away from werner dollar general accountby: Anonymous

Let me put it out there for all that are looking to Werner, especially the Dollar General dedicated account. Just completed 30 days of training and only have 115 hours driving of the 275 required to complete training(FM told trainer that he would knock it down to 225 hours since I was threatening to walk). They sugar coat it good in orientation, saying that you are there to just drive and not help unload the truck. That is BS. I do not mind helping at all, but getting up for a 4am unload and then staying up all day and helping unload the truck, then driving back 4 hours to the dc and driving 5 hours to the next store is getting bad. You unload the truck off duty on the quallcomm so that you will have hours to drive the truck back to the dc and then next store. You are a team driver without team pay. I worked a total of 104 last week, most of which was off-duty. that is just under $4 per hour. Please don't have someone tell you that oh he had a bad trainer. This is my second trainer, the first I left because he wanted to text every 10 minutes while he was driving. I am still currently here until I find somewhere else to go, but I will definately finish my training OTR. DO NOT TRAIN ON THE DEDICATED ACCOUNTS. OTR will get you in your own truck in 6 weeks or less, while DG dedicated will be more like 12 weeks. I am sure that the trainers make good money as they get paid for the miles a student drives, plus they have free help unloading the trucks. Another thing is that Werner pays $15 stop and $40 for empty trailer which will come out to $85 for a 3 stop load plus mileage . Another company here pays $25 per stop and $75 per empty trailer, which is $150 per 3 stop load. 5 loads a week( we did 8 loads this week:pays to have help)puts Werner at $425 plus mileage and un-named company at $600 plus mileage. You do the math and see which is better. I would also need to point out that you have to pick up empty rolltainers and cardboard at the stores and bring them back to the dc, which you are not paid to do. Dollar General makes millions a year on the recycling of the cardboard that they choose to keep for themselves. Do your homework to choose a company, but I personally am not going to have to work off-duty on the logs just so I can make my load. Look at the debacle you will be in if you get hurt on the job if you were logged off-duty; no worker's comp for you.Good luck to all those who read this..

It's what you make itby: Anonymous

I've drove for Werner since October of 13. Is it the best company out there? I highly doubt it. Can you make good money at Werner? Yes you absolutely can. If you have spent any time at all on this site and others you have heard this a thousand times. 1. Do your homework. 2. Pick a company that offers the most things that you are looking for. After 1 1/2 years of research I picked Werner because I thought they would allow me to do the things I wanted. 1. I wanted a dedicated account. 2. I wanted to be a trainer. 3. I wanted to be left alone as long as I was doing my job. 3. I wanted to bring home at least $1000 a week. Now I did have some old experience that didn't cut any time off my training time but I was confident in becoming a trainer as soon as I was eligible. After my training was done I went OTR for 1 month. I then called and was put on the dedicated Walmart account. As soon as I was eligible my FM recommended me to become a trainer. Now I am left alone they do not bother me with anything. I pick up a load and I am immediately pre assigned the next one. I come home when I want to get home. My net pay last week was $1523. That had $30 worth of scale ticket reimbursements on it. Other than that it was all miles. Do your homework and know what you want. Have goals and stick with them. You won't be near as disappointed.

Once you get done training, it all goes to hell in a hand basket!!by: Anonymous

Training was great, I made a friend out of it!! Got paid the 400 bucks a week, like they said they were going to pay me. After that I haven't made over 400 bucks since I started on the road by myself. Of course if I had known that they lie about the .33 cpm, would have NEVER started with this company!! I don't like to sit, I've been "running hard" since the beginning!! As soon as I get my 6 month's in, I'm GONE!! Going to say goodbye to .27 cpm...DONE putting my "dues" in!! And being screwed with no lubricant!!

Transporterby: Mayhem Slide

I've read a lot of the comments here. They match my experience. No one is going to get rich driving a truck. The comment about Rookies must prove themselves and Werner makes Truckers out of you is infuriating. I'm not a Truck Driver. I'm a Transporter. I drive a commercial transport actually accordig to DOT it's a CMV Commercial Motor Vehicle. I perfer Transporter, here's why.

We do so much more than drive a truck. We take on the greatest risk in the trucking industry for the least amount of pay. We maintain our lane on some of the worst roads in the worst places in the worst weather. We arrive alive and on time. We manage our hours of service and to stay clear of the DOT. When the QUALCOM gets confused we may make an emergency lane change but no one's perfect. You get my drift. Most fourwheelers haven't a clue, we do much more than drive a truck from point A to point B. I don't even like the term Professional Driver, cause I don't just drive. I have to know my HAZMAT rules on top of everything else. Not to mention dodgin the "WEAVERS" because they're talking on the phone or texting. Rookies must prove themselves. NO! Ego Trippin low achievers make that rule. But New Transporters must gain experience and gain it they will with every drop and hook. Those in the industry for years, most I've met are mentors, imparting wisdom and knowledge freely. I agree with those who said that guy is probably Werner Management with such condescending words to those who move America.

Thanks Dan. im in roadmaster school now, so i will see what the other truck company recruiters have to say (my recruiter said there will be others coming in to class to recruit, we'll see) but i'm going to rely on my own due diligence and of course listen to seasoned professionals as well.

RE: Worriedby: Dan M

I can see why you would be worried. By the time they get done taking school expenses and taxes and road expenses out of your pay checks, you will have little to live on. I would cancel out of school and say good bye to those losers. Get away before you complete their scams.I've seen too many student drivers go down that road to where they couldn't even take care of their family.

Seeing how you are a student, don't let any recruiter talk you into driving doubles. Get a couple years experience (minimum) before taking on doubles.

Good luck.

REby: Dan M

Dynamo,After 14 years with a company and Werner let you go? The better companies would have found something else for you. Oh well, Werner lost out.Regarding, Werner telling you what the pay scale is at before starting work. Yes, that's what they told me. I was to start out at .36 cpm. But then my first pay check was .12 cpm. They said they couldn't prove one of my references, so they dropped my pay rate. Funny thing about that, my old employer called them after I went down to their office. Werner then reluctantly offered me .28 cpm. I immediately quit and went back to work for my old employer. This has nothing to do with what pants one wears at Werner. This board is filled with similar stories of Werner cheating drivers out of money. Best thing I ever did was to quit them, and I never looked back.

Cry babiesby: Dynamo Dave

I put in 14 years for Werner Enterprise the last 7 as a husband/wife team and would be there today if not for a family illness forcing me to get off the road. You get out of Werner just what you put in. If you pull the trips and not bitch your dispatcher will take care of you. If you are a whiner they will do their best to drive you off (do you really blame them). They tell you going in what the pay scale is and how the day on the road vs. home time. In 14 years I was late getting home twice both times due to weather. Put on your big boy pants when you go to work there cause trucking ain't for babies.

My pay check stub doesn't lie.

I didn't want to leave, but when they suddenly dropped my paycheck rate to a low cpm, I couldn't leave fast enough. I gave them time to correct it, and even had a past employer confirmed my record. With my years of experience, it's just not that hard to get on with another company. I do have to say, Werner had me in the best truck I ever drove. (A newer KW with the larger Cummins engine). Nice equipment, but their pay rate drop was a deal breaker. Oh well.

RE: Captain Claytonby: Dan M

Interesting comments Captain, but you sound like one of the office managers at Werner. (Blowing the Werner trumpet). You claim to be honest, but your words sound a little one sided. The general consensus of the hundreds of complaints listed here is about Werner cheating drivers out of money.

Still other student drivers complaining to being cheated at a driving rate of .28 cpm. I have read on this forum from many many drivers who state this information as being true. I refuse to discount their complaints against Werner. You should take the crap you are shoveling elsewhere to someone who might believe your rants. I have to agree with the hundreds of past drivers who took their valuable time to post the truth about the Werner crooks. I happen to be one of the past drivers of Werner who refused to be cheated on. I'm happy to have walked away.

Werner by: Captain Clayton

I am gonna be 100 percent honest about Werner ! This company gets a ton of negative feedback . New drivers want to start out making .42 CPM with Werner and that's not gonna happen !!!

Rookies need to prove their selves to the industry ! Get at least 6 months experience before crying about the pay .

Werner is a great place to start and they will give you the best truck ! You will also be treated great if you have a great attitude ! Their system is designed to make you into a real trucker and prepare you for the road of trucking ! If you can't handle being away from your family , then trucking isn't for you !

If you can show a positive attitude and work ethic , and drive safe then Werner will take care of you financially ! They separate the big dogs from the puppies ! Until you prove yourself to them , you are a number , once you put the attitude in with the work ethic then they will make sure you are taken care of !! These words are true ! '

The turn over rate is High only because one out of every ten drivers are true truckers that are motivated to become super truckers ! Don't fall for the negative crap you here about Werner ! That company is very successful and they will help you become successful ! Work hard and drive safe and I promise that you will be happy you chose Werner !

Werner Cares...ah...for them self only.by: Dan M

Understand, Werner is fully aware of how they are stealing student driver money. That's why they are forcing student drivers to sign waivers. Lucky for you all, Werner has that funny sign up that says, "WE CARE". LOL.

Werner also knows, most of their students leave after six months to a year. Werner is depending on most to stay at least six months. Understand, Werner is not going to give a good reference no matter what you do.

When I found out how little money Werner decided they were going to pay. I gave immediate notice and quit them. Honestly, it felt good doing so and I never regretted it.

What you all should know, most other truck companies know what a scam Werner is, so they don't really hold it against you. In fact, I've had several companies ask why I stayed on as long as I did. Best thing I ever did was to quit them, and I never looked back.

If you got a piece of paper that says you graduate from trucking, that should be good enough to get a good start else where. It's just not worth staying on with them past six months.

He Leftby: Anonymous

I anonymously left a comment over six months ago reference the treatment Werner was giving my husband. After literally being stranded in Wyoming and Montana during one of the worst snow/blizzard cold fronts that moved through this past winter, he finally left the company and has moved on to another.

It is unconscionable to leave a driver stranded, literally on the side of the road, with no headlights, in two degree weather. It is worse than poor business practice it is inhumane treatment.

Waiting five hours to be contacted by dispatch, after numerous attempts to contact them and finally limping into a garage facility only to be told that Peterbuilts need to be checked by Peterbilt mechanics.

That week after having no runs because of mechanical problems our check was $92.26. We may be losing tuition reimbursement and partner bonus, but the new company he works for have been very human in their treatment of my husband.

He receives break down pay and everytime he has reported issues, he has contacted immediately and after the issue has been resolved he has received a follow up phone call.

RE: Warner Caresby: Dan M

Sorry to hear Werner took you for a ride. Your words are similar to many other drivers. I often had to laugh at the Werner slogan, "Werner Cares". Wow, 25 cpm is the lowest I heard in a long time. When I was working there, they had promised me 36 cpm.

It turned out my first pay check amounted to 12 cpm. I was in the middle of a load when I told them the truck doesn't move for 12 cpm. I quit them immediately and dropped their truck off at their yard. I already knew about their scams and quitting was fast and quick. It felt good and I was working elsewhere a week later. My best advice, deliver their truck back to their yard and give immediate notice. I guarantee you will feel good about it too.

werner cares? lolby: Anonymous

after slimy recruiter why Warner interprises getting sued right now. tell the low live dirt bag that you want him to put everything in writing an email and you'll consider his offer. if he refuses to do that, which she will, then you'll know that you're dealing with a slimy lying company. promises, promises, promises, but all bull shit. been there done that, ain't interested again. they will lie and tell you that you're going to get a shower every night, that's a joke. They will also tell you that the driver trainer is going to buy your food, that's a lie. They will also tell you that they have wifi on their trucks another lie. What they won't tell you is just going to make 25 cents a mile and get about 2000 to 2200 miles per week, which translates into five to six hundred dollars a week last taxes and food to live on the road. Which translates into you bringing home about $400 a week. then your recruiter I mean sorry then your dispatcher will sit there and jerk you around and laugh behind your back because they have no respect for drivers. go to their home office and Alma ha I go sit in the lunchroom and look at how everybody looks at you because you're a driver, then you'll know what I'm talking about. Or try to get in to see your dispatcher and see a while on friendly he is. they have a slogan at war, and it is Warner cares. all werner cares about is how much money they can make off if every dumb drivers that goes to work for them.

I started with werner in 2010 (May) Learned alot about the bussiness, and still remember it. If you knew alot about the buss. then you would not be at werner, (would you?). To start at anything you have to take the first step. Werner is one of many choises. Use it wisely, and time will tell if you can make it here. Like the song says "If I can make it here I can make here I can make it anywere." It's up to you and only you to make the direction of your future, here or anywere. Be safe out there. Peter L.

Werner phone recruiter (what a joke) by: Kevin

Had my CDL since 97' but not enough OTR exp. although I have years of exp. with various kinds of trucks.

After reading most of the comments here I still decided to give Werner a chance. One should always take anything that one reads/views, especially from the internet, with a grain of salt, yes?

After placing my application on a CDL Head hunters website I soon received a call from Weirner recruiting dept. and this is what the young Werner sales man had to say to me. Sign on bonus of $500, 3-4 weeks of training with a trainer, .34 cpm and more was promised to me. Gee that all sounded so good and refreshing to my unemployed life style, right?

However, the abrupt end of the phone conversation came when I asked him to email me a transcript of EVERYTHING that he was promising me over the phone. At that point he suddenly started talking very quickly, the same way some of those radio car commercials do for legal purposes (tax, tag, title ect. not included in the price). Where you can hardly comprehend it, lol. Very quickly the young man said to me, "Yes I will do that." He then quickly ended the conversation by telling me, "When your ready to come work for us give me a call." A last resort sales strategy meaning, "Well Kevin thanks but no thanks and though I'm my dishonest you can still trust me."

Don't know about any of you out there but that there erects a big bright red flag for me. But hey, I'm still waiting on that transcript of werner sales pitch promises. If it does happen to come my way (maybe by sea in a message in a bottle?) I'll be sure to eat my own words and tell everyone about it here, ok?

But don't take my word for it. After all I've only existed on this planet for 42 yrs. Instead call werner yourself and see what happens when you ask these young whipper snapper sales people to send you a copy of everything they promise you. Wonder if any die hard werner driver here can defend against that? I'm very sure that there are werner drivers who've had good & bad times with werner, so I'm not knocking them personally, just the sly sales routines from young so called sales professionals at werner.

If you do call them be sure to let the sales people waste as much time as possible on the phone with you. Something which hurts their precious valuable scheming time for preying & profiting on other unsuspecting drivers, mostly fresh out of CDL school.

If you don't call them and would like to tell me that I am wrong, well then, maybe and only you and god must know what's right and what's wrong.

RE Werner Stealingby: Dan M

It's your money and it's your right to know why Werner is stealing your money. It would be a good idea to check out what is going on with Werner's payroll dept. You ask them any question you like until you fully understand any deductions.If you don't like their answers, simply google the Department of Labor for Indiana. You can go online and fill out a form inquiring as to why your paychecks are short. It doesn't cost you any money and it's good way to keep Werner honest.

Unfortunately Werner has the habit of taking full advantage of their drivers. It's all about the dollar and nothing else with Werner. I like their equipment, but when it comes to paying their drivers, they have been known for CHEATING, and then some.If you can hold out, try working for six months and then get on with another company. From my experience, avoid truck companies that want OTR drivers. Local driver type jobs usually pay equally well and you get home often. Good luck.

A trucker's wifeby: Anonymous

My husband has been working for Werner for a couple of months. Boy, did they lay it on thick about bonus' and tuition reimbursement.

The truth: His dispatcher gave him a run where he was promised a minimum of $750/wk for a specific period of time. It was never mentioned that if you take every run offered, which you would naturally do to make money, that if you exceed the $750/wk, then that money is deducted from the next week's pay check. So today, we got a whopping $391.00. My husband hasn't been home in 3 months. It costs him a minimum of $100/week for grocery, laundry and that's not eating fast food. He's eating cold spaghetti out of can!

The truth: Tuition reimbursement may be $100/mo, but it's folded into your paycheck so they take taxes out of it. Really?! So you really don't get the full reimbursement for the money you pay out for your school loan when all is said and done.

The truth: If you decide to partner and take advantage of the $5,000 bonus/split 2 ways, you get a monthly reimbursement, which taxes are taken out of, and then after a certain amt is paid, you get a lump sum (which more taxes will be taken out of).

I just wish someone would be honest, up front, tell it like it is, and then let the driver make an educated decision based on what is best for himself and his family, instead of the half-truths, making the scenerio seem like you'll finally be able to climb up out of the hole, only to find someone at the top, stomping on your fingers.

Werner pays the recruiters and dispatchers at least 30 to 100% more than their drivers naked. First year recruiters earn a minimum of 50k.First year drivers do well to earn 30 to 40 k. Man the security guard makes more than most drivers. All I have to say is this, recruiters lie like rugs, make them send to you copy or an email of what they promise. Ask them to send you an email and watch them waffle and slime around. Snap honedt company has no worry and no problem with confirming what is promisd with an email.

REby: Dan M

After reading note after note about the real Werner, then along comes a character from Werner telling us it’s good at Werner and we all are complaining too much. I can’t help but to amusingly reply to his statements.

Werner comment >> we keep you going with good loads ….

Hahaha. You sound like a Werner recruiter. I can clearly recall drivers setting around for hours waiting for a return load to be dispatched. Many other times where I was dispatched too early and I couldn’t get unloaded. Still other times where I arrived at the shipper only to find myself setting in line behind four other Werner drivers. (Lots of unpaid wait time). Under the circumstances, I choose to believe the remarks written by experienced drivers on this board. I have to question his comment about those so-called good Werner loads. LOL.Honestly, the Dollar General is not what many drivers would consider to be good loads. The Dollar General stores are often difficult to get in and park the truck. And then if your lucky enough to park the truck without dents and scratches, the driver has to unload the truck himself. If your thinking an electric pallet jack would be nice…ah…forget it. Unload all by hand! Most drivers consider "no touch freight" to be considered better than unload all by hand and by yourself. It’s no wonder drivers may want to complain about Werner.

Werner comment >> nobody asked you to work for Werner its your own choice ….

Werner is constantly advertising at the many "truck mill marts". I had always received post cards from Werner asking me to come on board. I also received phone calls from recruiter Joe. What I didn’t realize is the recruiter gets paid by commission. Many drivers learn afterward, what the recruiter tells you is one thing, and what really goes on at Werner is entirely different. Ultimately, many drivers do what he suggests and go on to the better truck companies.

Werner intentionally recruits young drivers with big promises from the recruiters. They quickly learn there is little money when Werner subtracts the cost of their own driving school. Oh yes, their dream is quickly crushed when their pay check reflects a LOW pay of 24 cpm and less. Good deal for Werner, bad deal for the newly recruited driver. I have over ten years of driving experience, so I can at least feel sorry for the many drivers Werner took advantage of. I welcome all posts on this board complaining about what really happens at Werner.

If you really are a Werner driver for the Dollar General account, do us all a favor and you keep that crappy job you think that offers a good load. Understand well, the good runs out there are drop and hook. Hand unload is never accepted as most drivers prefer NO TOUCH freight. Get a clue dude!

I work for Werner for a while on Dollar General .Since the day i started i had no problems at all and never had problems . The money comes in every Friday and i keep track on my runs by writing every trip down , you can check what you made every Thursday on the Qualcomm and its always right to the Dollar .

Its hard work but end of my week im tired but that feels good .If you can't go for it look for another job , and stop complaining , nobody asked you to work for Werner its your own choice .....If your dreaming make the big money coming out of school than this is not the job for you .....Get your 2 years experience and move on to another company , lot of drivers return to Werner because they find out that it wasn't that bad .Anyhow i'm one of a happy driver and get good runs because i deliver every week without complaining because i made the choice to unload trailers and again no complains about Werner ....1 other thing they told me straight up when i started at Dollar General : if you can do the job right and solve the problems you will run in to (store managers , backing into difficult places ,good unload times .....) we keep you going with good loads ..... till today they kept their promises and i had never 1 problem with Werner

RE: Werner, My Experienceby: Anonymous

I see Werner is cheating drivers out of their pay again. I don’t know any driver that can live on .25 cpm. I can relate to what you’re saying because Werner tried to cheat me out of my money too. When I started work at Werner I was promised .36 cpm. When I got my first paycheck, it showed I was receiving a pay of .12 cpm. Werner reluctantly agreed to pay .24 cpm but never did pay what was promised by the recruiter. I never did like being cheated out of my money so I immediately quit. With my work experience, I went to work elsewhere for .40 cpm. Looking back, it felt good telling Werner where to get off.

Must be a little shocking to find out your stuck paying back the loan. Sounds like you went to the Werner school located in Indy. The recruiter should have given you complete details before starting. Agree, don’t get injured on the job with Werner, I heard some bad stories on that subject.

I think you should tell Werner where to get off, and hook up with a better truck company. Not all truck companies are bad. I have since limited who I work for. If it’s an OTR truck company then I never apply to them. Running local pays good and better, plus I get home nightly.

Werner: My Experienceby: Anonymous

Came with 3 months experience. Recruiter lied to me. She said that they would pay my student loan. No one told me that they were not paying it. By the time I figured it out, I had been there for 8 months. IF YOU ARE GOING TO GO HERE: get the recruiter to email you the stuff they are promising you; like pay per mile, how many miles average per week, are they going to pay your student loan? etc...Then I had only made $18K from Jan-Aug.I was also a trainer for the company. Werner hires 600 drivers per month. They only have 6000 drivers, and of the 6000 drivers at least 1200 of them have been there for at least ten years. What does this tell you? Well, the turn over ratio is over 150% for new drivers. Also lets figure our your pay: at .25 cents per mile you will be lucky to get 2200 miles per week. That's $550 per week before taxes. Ok,lets say you spend a lowly $100 PER wk on the road. You are going to be a able to send about $375 per week home to your family. THIS IS REALISTIC. Everything else is bull and a pipe dream. If you can handle any starter company like Werner, hang out for at least 3-6 mths then move on to a real trucking company, a company that does not train new drivers. The dispatchers are rude, the people who work as support are mean and nasty. Security is sometimes pushy and rude. The mechanics suck, for real. This is real life talking here. I drove for them for almost two years, I know what I am talking about. Werner Cares, is their slogan and its a load of crap. Oh yea, better not get injured on the job, they will deny your claim and you will have to sue them to get medical treatment. TRUTH!

He said yes and I got him into the spot with no trouble. I talked to him awhile and this was the same one that I cut off one day (by accident) and he said that he remmebers me becouse I was respecful to him. Over the last two years no one and he says no one is that polite anymore. Even in trucking. He's left o/o driving couse it got too expesive to do and went into company driver. He tells me that even withthe new regulations on drivers there is still a lack of manners on the road. I asked if his company is hireing and he told me to look somware eles. He's leaving. I told him to remember any job is only as good as ether you or the people in it. If you want to be better at it then you have to show them (the company people) the right way to do things, starting with yourself. Respect those around you and don't put others down. Respect is like yest, alittle goes a long way. Be safe out there Peter L.

REby: Dan M

Your note is sort of like a half truth lacking the full details. You would need to read many of the past notes here that have been posted by many drivers. The dollar general account is dedicated but the driver unloads every trailer by himself. Try delivering to this account and you will soon learn parking your rig at these little stores is difficult. The other dedicated runs you speak of are usually taken up so getting on the Target account does not happen often. Most likely, drivers get the regional runs that are always marked deliver non stop driving. Many drivers out of their school are paid less than .28 cents per mile. What a great deal for Werner considering the student driver should be getting more. Again, read past notes from here as pay for student drivers has been a common complaint. Your note sounds like you are really a recruiter for Werner or you got one of the few good runs. No, the past notes here have not been all bull.

GREAT by: Anonymous

lol I see all the bad things people are saying about werner.For the most part it is all bull,I have worked here for a year and had no big problem at all,I see people on here talking about the pay,Some say 22cpm I know they pay more most new fresh out of school make 28 cpm and 4 cpm pd.Not bad for no exp.Most places that pay better will not talk to you unless you have at least 2 yrs exp.As far as qualcomm and dispatch same every where.I have been in this for 12 yrs.If you think you are going to make great money from the get go this is not the job for you.Most people on here complaining are on regional and thats where werner puts the jack legs.If you have a good work ethic and personality you will been put on a true dedicated.Most of this start off at $900 a week.Ask to be put on Target or Home depot,The Dollar store pays good but it is hard work.

RE Pre Tripsby: Dan M

Pre Trip Inspections are always completed by the driver. The driver is expected to know if the tractor and trailer is in good working condition. So, the driver usually completes a Pre Trip Inspection and a Post Trip Inspection. Good luck.

pretripsby: Anonymous

Im not a truck driver but shouldnt a pretrip be done first by the company at least on the trailer before it is loaded. then by the driver.

W E R N E R - no thank youby: Anonymous

i made couple mistakes in my life but the worst mistake was start work for werner.why?....... ...that' s my answers: they pay only 22cpm+ 4 cents for accident free so that is only 26cpm.pretty sh...y money. night time dispatchs are disasters.i sit and wait for 14 hrs because nighttime dispatch not be able fix problem,so when morning dispatch show up my problem was solve in 1hr.toooo much safety ,,werner,, regulations,after 6 months of driving you earn 1 cent per mile more....yes only 1 cent per mile more after 10 months you get 3 cents more per mile,i tried write down anything positive about this company but really i dont know. every hometime i look for another job ,make applications and wait and hope something comes up. that will be my the happiest day leave werner.but best experience for you is go to truck stop and asked drivers about werner and you find out by yourself

Low pay rates...Werner likes students.by: Dan M

A good attitude with help and suggestions toward fellow drivers is always good. I see this with other truck companies as well.

Nothing wrong with a little inexperience, but be careful because an accident/fender bender with company equipment could end your job with Werner. They won't hesitate to quickly let a driver go for minor accident. Sounds like you are a recent truck school graduate from Werner. It's nice that Werner is giving you a good start to learn about driving semi trucks.

Unfortunately, the rate Werner pays is incredibly low for a start out pay. I won't ask what your start out pay is, but I have talked to many student drivers who are less than .22 cpm.

The going rate for a driver with a couple years of experience is .36 to .42 cpm, depending on the run. I hope you can survive with Werner at these rates for a couple years.

respectby: Peter L. former driver

I've been out of work for about two years and have yet to have anything bad to say about werner .

I'm not the perfect person to complain about something unless I'm the one getting screwed. Werner was good to me in giving me a chance to drive and learn the bussiness.

The biggest thing I've seen and learned is the basics. One most of all. G.O.A.L. .Get out and look. So many people don't and they get to ether damage somes truck or hurt someone.

Werner may not be perfect but like i said it's what you put into it to get out of it. Once I cut a truck off (not on purpose), at the next truck stop the driver was talking about some werner driver that cut him off, I said it was me and if you want to knock my head off go rite ahead.

I'm sorry i was wrong. He went into shock for about a minute, I told him that I did not see him and I'm glad he was paying more attation then I was. The biggest thing that we ended up doing was who was bying lunch. (I did ) He was gland to meet an honest driver. We talked about trucking, and got alot of info from him. The secret? treat people like you want to be treated. About three months later I'm having a bitch of a time backing into a spot. Along comes this driver and helps me. His name is Steaven. He reminds me about that cut off I did to him and says from one driver to another thanks to your curtisy and respect. That all it is is respect for other drivers . Be safe out there god bless

get out what you put inby: Peter L. former driver

I drove for werner for eight months. April 2010 to Jan. 2011. My trainer was named Joe, O/O. Hard ass to train a thick head like me, but he finally got to know me. Two months of traing and ended up in fla. Got a team partner named Doug, Learned alot from him. If you want to learn you have to want. If i was to go back to Werner I would ask for them to let me train a newbe. This way I can get to understand the otherside of the training. I'm patiant and can be helpful to others. Met alot of other werner people that didn"t know one end the truck from tha other. These are the ones that I love to talk to. Exchange info, ideas ect. Keep trucking and always be patiant for the other guy, you were like them once. thx and be safe out there.

Regarding: My own experiencesby: Anonymous

Nice story, but the same Dollar General account is also offered by LandAir, US Xpress, Jacobson Companies, and others, and not just Werner. The Dollar General account at Werner only pays .28 cpm and 16 per stop for those with three months experience. I have to say, the .28 cpm sounds a little cheap as I don’t know any truck company that would pay as low as .28 cpm.

Werner expects the driver to unload all trailers by hand. (No fork life or pallet jack). I was one very tired truck driver after unloading trailers all week. Unloading trailers can really drag you down.Also, trying to deliver to some of those Dollar General stores was a nightmare or an accident waiting to happen. Not much room to get your rig docked and scarey for those with only a few months of driving experience. The $900 is before taxes or the gross amount. The Werner paycheck is greatly reduced after taxes, medical deductions, living expenses out on the road. I would not recommend buying a multi thousand dollar big truck at Werner. It’s a nice thought to own/lease your own truck, but I will pass on those big monthly payments to the bank. (1500.) Don’t forget $600 just to fill the tank up once with diesel fuel. Cost of plates is like $2100. State road tax, $800. Insurance, $200 /mo. The turnover rate at Werner is way too high to where I would spend big dollars on a truck.The $2400 a week is gross amount and not enough money when looking at others in the business. The real owner operator running on his own authority makes more.

Good luck.

My Experiences at Werner......by: Anonymous

Ok.......its like this..I came to Werner with 3 months experience from USA TRUCK.....The best accounts at Werner is the Dollar General account in Zanesville Ohio. I was making 900-950 per week...but you have to unload trucks.I have ran OTR, Super Regional, and Dedicated. I finally became so frustrated that I decided to become a Trainer. The best thing I ever did was become a owner operator at Werner...so far so good. Training, and I mean training for real........not goofing off....first week I made $2447 before income taxes. Now I have averaged between $1800-$2400 per week every week since.Is that awesome or what? As the other owner opps that drive for Werner!

RE: werner sucksby: Dan M

I have also had this problem with Werner not taking care of truck problems needing repairs. Trust me, you will get a DOT ticket for being in violation, and Werner will not back you up.

•If you feel your employer is violating the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. Immediately go to the following web site and report the problem.

http://nccdb.fmcsa.dot.gov/HomePage.asp

Next, click on the link that says, "Summit a Safety Violation Complaint". I strongly suggest you start keeping a hard copy of your pre trip inspection reports that you will need to provide to the FMCSA. Do not trust Werner to take care of it and don't give your copies to Werner. Thank you.

Pay Rateby: Dan M

I remember going to work for Werner. The recruiter told me with my years of experience I would be making .32 cpm. So I finished up with orientation, got an assigned truck and started making runs. My first paycheck was three weeks late and was only for one run, and my pay rate was changed to .24 cpm.

So I called payroll and they stated they can't pay .32 cpm until all my work has been verified. I replied back that I don't work at that rate so I took an immediate leave of absense. Payroll claimed they didn't get BOL/invoices from my runs. I resent all BOL and another three weeks went by with no paycheck.

Regarding my work references, they were all verified according to the calls i made to my old employers, but Werner now claims they have to enter it into their system and get it approved before any pay increase. That was two weeks ago and my pay rate is still at .24 cpm.I finally accepted work elsewhere. I never did get paid anything and my pay rate was never changed to .32 cpm. Payroll keeps promising they will get me paid. Uh huh.

The Fleet manager attitude was go to work at .24 cpm or turn the truck back in. I gladly turned the truck in as I need to get paid weekly, not monthly. I don't work for .24 cpm...period. Werner is one of thoese places you simply don't work for. Driver beware, stay away from Werner.

REby: Dan M

After reading your note I'll be sure to stay away from CR England. I think they are all a bunch of crooks. Another TRUCK MILL TRUCK company! Hired or in front door at record numbers. And...many are fired and leave out the back door in larger numbers. If you live in the truck for many weeks at a time without ever going home, then you will be acepted for a while. Stay away from the ones who get you back home late by two or three days. They are the ones who don't hesitate to get you back on the road early from your time off. Be careful of the truck company who imposes many rules. (No idling, no inverters, no pets, no speeding, no avoiding qualcomm, etc). Beware of the truck companies with the many fines or hidden cost. (accident fines back to the driver. insurance deductable back to driver. Late delivery fees, or the fine for failing DOT inspection, fines for not messaging in.Best approach is to come up with a long list of questions to the company should be answered before ever going to one of their long winded three day orientations. Uh huh, that should cover the basics. :-)

Scumbag Wernerby: Anonymous

Do not even go to an orientation. When its over, they send you home and wait. They'll call you. If you're unlucky enough, they'll give you a trainer for whatever your required OTR hours will be. The trouble is that have very few trainers and not enough trucks or freight to the number of drivers they push through every week Then they send you home, or, if you're really unlucky, they will put you on a truck. You see, they get subidized by the federal government evertime they they train a driver. In other words, its a seperate buisne within a buisness. But its your choice to get screwed, and that's exactly what'll happen and they ruin your DAC. They'll find any excuse to fire you as that's all they do. This way they pay no unemployment... GOOD LUCK. Also, take all the above and imagine must worse, and you have C R ENGLAND..

New JOBby: Dan M

Robcri,Sorry to hear you opted to leave Werner after a short two year stay. I'm not surprised, as many people leave for one reason or another.

Last truck company I worked for, I also drove a new truck. Most truck companies let the newbies/rookies drive the old trucks. The company I worked for was over eight long years. I'm now on my second truck company, going on 3.5 years now.

Good luck with your new job.

Werner was decentby: robcri

Stayed with Werner for 2 years. They were my 1st job after getting my CDL. Started out at 32 cents. Had the same fleet manager for all but 3 weeks of my stay there. He was a great guy. I had numerous sucky weeks but most of the time after having a sucky week he would run my butt off the next week. My first year I teamed and made mid 40K. I trained others during my 2nd year and made low 60K. My 1st truck was crappy. I had it for 3 weeks. They moved me into a nicer truck with 450 k miles on it. 6 months later they moved me into a new truck. I came on with a clean record and left with a clean record. I am moving on for better pay but my memories of Werner are good ones.

Refresher certificateby: Dan M

Steve,Same with me, driving truck is something I do when I'm unemployed from my regularly career. For me, driving truck is better than unemployment. I never heard of a need to have a refresher certificate. Although, I have 8 years experience plus a truck school 10 years ago.

With the new CSA rules, I suppose there might be new requirements. Your right, it's getting so everyone wants a piece of the pie. The CSA has now made it so renewing my CDL license increased to like $170. (Government scams). Ok, good to know you have a work plan.

Sounds like you are in a bad way. Better hold onto the job scheduled for 3/16. It's better than nothing and your dog needs you. Take the job, but keep sending your resume out.

Remember, if the truck job requires going through a recruiter, it's most likely another truck mill company where they hire drivers by the dozen. At lease it will be an incoming paycheck. Good luck.

liers, please do not go to werner.by: Anonymous

This company has some of the rudest people you will ever meet. The pay is not .39 or .32 starting out either, it is .22 with a 4 cent per mile safety bonus if you have a safe trip.

Otr is a total life style and the pay with Werner is not worth it. Unless, you can live off of 200 to 600 dollars a week solo and 200 to 700 a week team.

Please though I strongly urge you not to think you will get 600 or 700 ever week. No way more like an average of 400 every week. Is that good for 7 days a week 10 to 14 hours a day away from your family and keep in mind the rude people there to add you have to deal with?

If it is, go have a try. This company is run by college kids at least that's the feel of it. The mechanics are nice but you'll learn real fast they are payed by the hour and will soak ever hour of their time, meaning you will spend days at a terminal for something easy such as a oil change.

You'll see just try these moral sucking leaches out.

Weiner, just another truck millby: Dan

Yes, I've seen many students that graduated from their truck school. Their offer of .37 a mile is more than most get. The cost of this school would not be something I could recommend. Usually Werner gets many recruits this way where the drivers work for less in order to pay Weiner back.

Understand well, Werner is nothing more than another "truck mill" truck company. Meaning, they mass hire drivers in the front door. What you don't see is an equal amount of drivers leaving out the back door.

They offer newer trucks, but Weiner makes the driver pay for those trucks by a smaller pay check. So, Weiner pays a driver .37 when he should be getting .39 to .44 or more.

I could tell more about Weiner, but this is enough for now. :-)

Werner treated me rightby: Acura89

Ive never had any problems with werner.. I started out a 37cpm right outta orientation. I average 2800 miles a week and i run midwest solo. I only had 6 months of experience when i came to werner..i got a 2010 volvo with 65000 miles on it and its in great condition.

I'm tired of people thinking that Werner sucks but in reality every company whether trucking related or not has downsides. but ive been treated very well with them.. they get me home when i ask and i always have a load ready when im ready for it.

like any other place in the world, you gotta have experience to make more money.

To many lies for me to want to go with them. OTR can grow old real quick so I'm not going there. I prefer getting home nightly. Nice truck, but they got PeopleNet tracking inside so the driver will get no rest. (More like a puppet on a string).

If you want a very honest answer, first check out the driver lounge at the main office. The existing drivers will tell you straight. The complaints are off the wall. Pay rate is incredibly low for most.

Good luck with Weiner

BS regarding weener enterprisesby: Bobby

ALL OF YOU INTERESTED TO WORK FOR WERNER PAY ATTENTION TO THIS, I GOT MY EXPERIENCE WITH THEM SO FOR THAT I AM GRATEFUL,BUT IF I KNEW WHAT WAS TO COME NEXT I WOULD'VE NEVER EVER STARTED WITH THEM IN A FIRST PLACE.

POST ORIENTATION: I HAD TO GO ALL THE WAY TO FLORIDA FROM DALLAS TEXAS TO GET MY 2005 CENTURY CLASS TRUCK, NICE LOOKING TRUCK BUT BUG INFESTED BADLY SO I BOBTAIL TO THE ATLANTA TERMINAL AND THE STUPID LADY THAT WORKS OR WORKED AT THE SHOP TOLD ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THAT AND SHE REFUSED TO GIVE ME A NEW MATTRESS.

SO I CALLED SAFETY AND GUESS WHAT THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AS WELL.

NOW WITH PER DIEM IT SUCKS BECAUSE IT CUTS YOUR CENT PER MILE RATE IN HALF SO ITS REALLY NOT A GOOD DEAL. AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN MAKE DECENT MONEY IF YOU WERE ON A CERTAIN DEDICATED ACCOUNT LIKE SARA LEE WHICH I WAS ON FOR A GOOD WHILE.

AFTER A LIL OVER A YEAR WITH THEM I DECIDED TO GET MY OWN TRUCK WITH THEM AND OF COURSE THEY WILL SELL YOU A TRUCK WITH ZERO DOWN BUT THEY WILL MURDER YOU ON THE PAYMENTS. I GOT A VERY NICE MIDNIGHT BLUE CLASSIC XL AND I TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF IT AS A MATTER OF FACT AND I ALWAYS GOT COMPLIMENTS ON HOW NICE AND CLEAN IT LOOKED.

BUT ONCE I GOT MY TRUCK GUESS WHAT THEY RAN ME VERY POORLY AND I LITERALLY LIVED OFF OF $200 ADVANCES A WEEK FOR A WHOLE YEAR I WAS WITH THEM AS A OWNER/OP AND THEY ALWAYS TRIED TO GET ME TO DO SHAG LOADS WHICH MIND YOU THAT'S PRETTY MUCH LOCAL RUNS AND MORE SUITABLE FOR A DAYCAB DRIVER.

ON TOP OF THINGS VERN WERNER THE DIRECTOR OF FLEET SALES IS A SELFISH PRICK AND HE IS LUCKY I DIDNT SMACK SOME SENSE INTO HIM BECAUSE HE HAD THE NERVE TO CALL MY MOTHER A BITCH, HE THINKS JUST BECAUSE HE HAS MORE MONEY THAN ME HE THINKS ITS OK TO TALK TO PEOPLE HOWEVER HE WANTS TO.

AND THIS ISN'T EVEN THE HALF OF WHAT HAPPENED DURING MY TIME WITH WERNER. TAKE IT FROM ME, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU TRY TO TALK TO THERE TO GET ISSUES RESOLVED YOU WILL GET NOWHERE WITH WERNER ENTERPRISES CAUSE EVERY ONE OF THEM ARE INCONSIDERATE TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL RUDE PEOPLE.

THEY PAY YOU AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE AND THEY TRY TO KEEP YOU OUT ON THE ROAD AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, AND IF THIS HELPS YOU, MY ENTIRE CLASS OF 24 PEOPLE THAT WERE EMPLOYED BY WERNER GUESS WHAT NONE OF US WORK FOR THEM ANYMORE.

AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED WERNER NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN PERMANENTLY.

Werner scam tacticsby: Dan

I see Werner is up to their same scam tactics. Yes, I saw the same web site last year where it shows the driver making .39 cents per mile start.

Same thing with me, I soon learned after orientation the pay rate was .32 cents per mile. I also called them and they claimed the web site is not their site, which really is their site. Same with their runs, I found out after orientation the dedicated run was no longer available but they were offering OTR.

Be careful about driving to orientation because they never paid me for gas in travel expenses. I would have stayed with Werner, but then I was listening to what the drivers were saying in their driver lounge.

Many many dissatisfied drivers being lied too. I was happy to have left Werner and never looked back.

Really, there can't be anything different here than anywhere else. by: ???woman driver

I've been driving since 1989. I have been lied to and lied about by every company I have worked for. I have been provided free booze by trucking companies and their customers also...hard to believe?? Hehehe!

I say just go with the flow. I have seen good drivers who were THE BEST and tried the hardest with their companies try to lease-purchase and have their whole lives destroyed by it; and I have watched company drivers systematically steal from trucking companies their ENTIRE careers (Some of them 30 years or more)and never get caught!

And then LISTEN to those companies PRAISE them as if they had discovered toilet paper!!

Just be HAPPY to drive the crappy equipment you are given to drive; at 65 and at 30 up-hill, and NOT be replaced by a bunch of people who aren't the people that their CDL'S SAY they are, and DON'T speak a word of English-and never INTEND to learn, and ABSOLUTELY intend to STEAL that truck they have been assigned to and drive it back into Mexico and put their name on it and make a ton of money with it. And know that they WON'T be stopped by the U.S. border or the Mexican one either.

They are above U.S. federal law. And THEY will be enjoying YOUR retirement saving or 401 down in Mexico as soon as they hack your bank account number...

Yep. Tilt your head a little to the left and you can hear ALL OF THE U.S. TRUCKING COMPANIES sucking the SAME way. Enjoy your free pizza and the fact that they all want some of your piss!! NOW-THAT IS FUNNY to me!

pay rate?by: Anonymous

I went through orientation and was assigned a truck, but then I learn the dedicated run I was suppose to be on no longer exists. I also learned my pay rate was suppose to be at .39/mile according to the following Werner web site.

http://www-wps.werner.com/content/drv/ops/longhaul/pay/

The Werner recruiter said the rate is .32/mile. Werner claimed the site I just listed here is a fake site, yet it looks like a werner site to me.
No big deal, it just means I will not drive for a company that will openly cheat their drivers. I have pleanty of experience so it's not that hard to work for .39/mile. I told Werner to go to this site, but they replied it doesn't work on their computers. Something not right with this Werner outfit. It's way to easy to go elsewhere. Please check out this site and let me know if it's a fake site. Looks like a Werner site to me. :-))

Find out the Hard Wayby: Maxwell Mclain Doctor of Divinity

Some people won't listen to advice and have to find things out the hard way! Please, all you new drivers read and soak in the posts. My motivation for joining Werner was simple.

They had a small local hub in my town that offered local runs. My goal was to get one of these local runs and be home in bed every night.

ORIENTATION:Springfield OH:The wife drove me down from Detroit to the Holiday Inn in Springfield OH. Not a bad hotel with a pool, hot tub and food within walking distance. Two hour wait in the lobby because Werner never verified my reservation.

After several calls with no reply I finally got my room. Paid the extra money for a single room because I value my privacy(I recommend this to those who can afford it). Stowed my gear and decided to head down to the bar for some libations i.e beer.

The thought of leaving my family and being on the road for a couple of months was stressful. It was 5:00 P.M and orientation didn't start till 8:00 A.M..

Arrived at the hotel tavern and ordered a Miller Lite. The bar maid asked me if I was here for the Werner orientation? I replied yes and she puts the bottle back in the cooler. The puzzled look on my face turned to consternation when she said students weren't allowed to drink.

This was the first of many red flags on the bumpy road of Werner. Last time I checked our flag did not have a sickle and a star on it. Sometimes rules are meant to be broken, this was one of those times.

Calmly walked out of the bar and down to the beer depot across from the hotel and bought a six pack. Returned to my room and enjoyed my tasty beverages, problem solved.to be continued......

WERNER WANTS TO SCREW YOU SO THEY CAN SUPPORT THIER COCAINE HABITS AND WILD PARTIESby: Anonymous

werner lures you in with their "office with a view" campaign then feeds you crappy pizza and provides crappy hotel accommodations then puts you with a trainer who is there to make money from your miles and don't teach you anything but how to steer.

Then when you get a truck its a rattle trap that's anything than safe and if your lucky to make 500 a week you never stop rolling cause your team driver is an idiot making the same as you and your lose sleep training a drooling fifth grade dropout who cant read or speak English or read a map.

Dont let werner screw you. They are out for government tax breaks for every invalid that completes their training. Team driving only benefits werner, and their trucks are more important to them than you are.

IK Wernerby: Anonymous

I went to Werner after I got my Class A. What a joke! An eight hours buss ride full of stinking Mexicans just out of prison took me to a hotel full of angry people with more questions than answers. No one to ask those questions and no answers once we found a real Werner person. The orientation was a couple long days of redundant paper work, some outdated videos and a 3 minute physical. Literally the so called doctor never got out of his chair.

After some more sitting around in a hotel with orders not to leave the room, I found myself on a truck with the worst example of a human I could have imagined. The truck was in sad condition and the driver didn't care to try and have it repaired because the company would penalize him, or us, for it. Minus 12 degree weather in NE with no heat and required to sleep in the truck anyway.

My driver manager and even the supervisor were very non communicative. I found this to be a common to all Werner people. Oh you can ask the questions but they will not actually talk to you and get quite hostile if you keep asking.

If you want to drive and work your maximum allowed hours every day of the week, get poorly thought out routes to pick up or drop off a load, operate unsafe equipment, be paid less than 300 per week and then be treated like a bad step child, you should run to Werner.

If you want to drive a truck and make a living, stay wherever you are at and find something small and local.

hiring on at werner enterprisesby: jimmy

Werner is a well established co and they have nice equipment. they have terminals spread thru out the country.

However, they are a large co. when you try to get on board with a large co, you will sometimes get lost in the shuffle. From the first day in orientation to getting assigned a truck. everything is subject to change on an hourly basis.

Remember, the logistics of operating a large fleet, with 5000 drivers or more is no easy task. That's why i suggest you go for a small to medium co. equipment, pay, lifestyle, etc is the same. Don't be discouraged. sounds like the one guy did get lost in the shuffle.....jimmy

Trucking Life at Werner Enterprisesby: Jennifer Schnittker

I think it is what you make of it. My husband started off with Werner Enterprises, he was impressed with it. HOWEVER! It was not for him.

I do know (something that was not added here) they give you BACK your perdium in the amount of 52.00 a day added to your pay if you so choose.

Also, We have made a friend that was with them for 8 years. As with almost any trucking company. There are advantages, and disadvantages to each. Everyone has a different outlook on it.

Werner Enterprisesby: Michelle

I FOUND THIS "RIP OFF REPORT" ON WERNER ENTERPRISES AND THOUGHT ID PASS IT ON TO YOU FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH.

I did find many reports on the company and ONLY GOING BY WHAT I WAS READING, Id have to say that I would NOT want my Husband to even think of seeking A career with WERNER after the information in these reports.

Hope it helps you. I am still looking for any advice about PRIME INC. So, If there's someone that maybe helpful I'd like to hear for you. Below is the report, I just copied and pastes it. God Bless

7/2008: Wanted a better paying job. Decided to try truck driving. Paid Roadmaster of Orlando $6000 to get a CDL-A in 3 weeks.9/5/08: Passed with high scores.9/10/08: Hired by Werner. Went to 2 day orientation. Very disorganized.9/12/08: Got a Trainer, on my way to completing 275 hours. Great Trainer.10/28/08: 275 hours, 30 breakdowns later, was asked to do 50 more hours. (Truck has over 600000 miles on it, and its in bad shape. Just about every trailer we pick up has flat tires or other problems). Trainer gives me great scores. Says that I am more than ready to go solo. I'm very confident and excited.11/7/08: 325 hours, stay on truck at same rate of pay, or go on LOA (leave of absence). Sent to Omaha terminal.11/8/08: Stranded in Omaha. Would not test me out because they stated accounts were closed for at least 2 weeks . SDM said when a truck comes available, I would be tested out and issued a truck. After sitting in lobby of hotel for 5 hours waiting for a room & new trainer, I decided to take the LOA my SDM suggested.

Found out after the fact that they would not help get me the 1000 mile journey home, and I HAD to take the LOA.

Spent over $600 for plane ticket and went home to wait on truck. No problem, Ill be making good money soon. (so I thought)12/5/08: End of LOA, told to return to terminal for new trainer because no trucks available. I get to hotel, no room reserved for me after I was told there was.

I call to get voucher for room, was asked why was I there, their are no trucks available. I drive back home pretty disgusted.12/12/08: Still getting the run around. Cant afford having a NON-PAYING job anymore, I give up and resign.

Total money spent (incl expenses on the road for food, travel to & from terminals)= $-1834.57

Total wages (Gross) from start =$+2753.26

Total money made after 3 months =$+918.69(WOW!!!that's $306.23 a month)

Total in the hole after 6 months =$-5081.31

WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE CHOOSING WERNER. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY GET THE WE-CARE CRAP FROM!

I'll let you know about Werner Enterprisesby: Collin Barnette

I know this doesn't answer your question but, .......... I am off to start life in the trucking world and I have the same question.

I have heard good and bad. Most of the bad reports I have read read as if they were written by illiterate negative people who are most likely unhappy with life in general.

Werner Enterprises has a great web site and their recruiter seemed positive but a bit on the apathetic side. I imagine they get tons of calls and get burnt out answering the same questions over and over that can be answered by their site.

Their drivers I have talked to say they are happy and believe it is a good company. They did say that you start off at a lower pay if your new to the industry but once you prove your skills the pay comes up.

Watch my page on this site as I go through school and find a company myself and I'll promise that Werner will be one of the companies covered in my report.
